The Co-ordination of Episcopal Conferences in Support of the Church of the Holy Land (Holy Land Co-ordination) is currently made up of representatives from Catholic Bishops' Conferences from across Europe and North America. The overall aim of the Holy Land Co-ordination is to act in solidarity with the Christian community in the Holy Land, through the Assembly of Catholic Ordinaries of the Holy Land, and to share in the pastoral life of the local Church as it experiences intense political and social-economic pressure.
The Holy Land Co-ordination meets every January in the Holy Land. The meeting begins with parish and pastoral visits on the opening weekend and the following four days are taken up with official meetings. Based in Jerusalem, the Holy Land Co-ordination has visited various towns in the Holy Land and in 2006 it visited Jordan for the first time.
